Think

39、of them as three connected rooms in which you store different kinds of memories. The first kind of memory is sense memory. Everything you are sensing right now is stored here.

40、ect one moment to the next. They give your life a flow, even though they are quickly forgotten. You keep a few items(条目 ) in working memory. These are memories you need for what you are doing.

41、little while. But if you get distracted (分神 ), you might quickly forget it. A memory usually stays in your working memory for just a few days at most. Working memory has another limit, too. Only a small number of items fit into it at any given time. Memories you want to keep for a long time go into

42、your long-term memory. They can stay with you all your life. In long-term memory, you can store a huge number of items. Can you re member how to play your favorite game? Do you recall your first birthday party? If so, you are bringing up memories that are stored in your long-term memory. Sometimes,

43、people have trouble finding a particular long-term memory. Have you ever struggled to remember a familiar name or fact?

46、） The Length of Memories （ C） New Findings on Memories （ D） The Importance of Memories 67 Even if your child is an excellent student, you cant expect that he will always dutifully do his homework. The following is some useful advice for helping them deal with their homework. Set a regular time and p

47、lace for study. Give homework its own special time and place, and if your child is in middle or high school, let her set her own timetable. Take it step by step. Children may get overwhelmed (压倒 ) by too much homework they have to do. Encourage your child to calmly work out what needs to be done and

48、 how much time it will take, and then make a plan. Help your child break homework down into manageable steps. Help out. You shouldnt have to do your childs homework or re-teach the material covered in class, but you can help out by showing your interest and by encouraging independent (独立的 ) problem

49、solving. Praise a job well done. Kids, no matter what their age, need to know that they are doing a good job. Praise them for their successes and encourage them to keep up the good work.
